Okay, I am an honest man and I can admit when I am wrong.
A few days ago, I said the Droid X was not all that great. Well, I have done what a few here have suggested regarding the battery by shutting it down when I hit for example....50%. When you do that, it goes up to 70 or 80%. There is clearly a software glitch with the battery meter and how it shuts down your phone prematurely.
Example of what I mean: Yesterday, I unplugged my phone at 7:30 and I was at 100%. Within 5 minutes, it was down to 90%. I drove my daughter to a softball tournament which was about an hour of drive time and was listeing to Youtubes via my phone the whole time. When we arrived, it was at 80%. I did a bunch of surfing and text messages for about an hour and got it to 50% at around Noon. I shutdown the phone and restarted and it went to 70% and stayed there till 6:30 PM. When I got home at 7:30, it was still at 70%. I continued to make calls and do some moderate data usage till aout Midnight and went to bed with the phone at 40%. I woke up and it was still at 40%. It is now 9:30 AM and the battery finally went yellow with 30% so I decided to plug it in. Keep in mind that for the first time ever, I did not have GPS on the whole day. I used it very little but I used it.
In summary: The battery lasted from Sunday starting at 7:30 AM till Monday to 9:30 AM( where I plugged in at 30%.
If the software that comes out is fixing the meter and my phone does what it did yesterday and today, I will admit the phone is a beast!
